Nobody’s perfect. But if you really don’t like Starmer, I’ll trade you Trump for him

Why do people connect their home security, thermostats, or refrigerators to the internet? Because they’re designed, first and foremost, as data collectors. Users discover after the fact that they don’t actually own anything, and the company hides behind software licenses to maintain their control.

People don’t like offices and are more productive when they’re happy. Who knew?

Interesting read. Since he likely knows a lot of these teams, nothing is stopping him emailing them gift cards.

This reads like a statement from a vulture capitalist who plans to break up the company and sell the parts to make a quick buck. One would think they would focus on building trust, not giving yet more devs reasons to use a different engine.

Who the hell thinks beta software is appropriate for real-world applications in something as dangerous as vehicle control at highway speeds?

I've come to believe that all Teslas should be recalled until they get their act together. They're getting people hurt and killed by field testing their experiments on roadways that we paid for.

Not only is she a bigot and bully in her own right, she also can’t read or understand spoken English.

The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all

There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

It’s already been noted elsewhere that this will directly violate Apple’s and Google’s app store policies. The X app should be immediately pulled as a result.

Loyalty is vastly overrated. The only rational course of action is to complete exactly the tasks to which you've agreed for the wage they've determined. Your employer will demand loyalty but never reciprocate. Don't let them manipulate you.

Also, never ever let them see you sweat. It doesn't matter how good your employer is, at the first hint that you're insecure, they'll pounce and you'll be treated like garbage. Always have your briefcase packed and a box to clear out your desk on a moment's notice.

To say the quiet part out loud: Bullshit

Google may find that their only option is to paywall YouTube. Too many of us will prefer to pay creators directly rather than letting Google take a cut. And YouTube is not the only game in town.

I admit that I’m pretty much done with YouTube anyway. Their unskippable mid roll ads that interrupt videos mid-word have become obnoxious enough that many creators I follow are jumping ship and advising their viewers where to find them.

I know this should provoke… I don’t know… sadness? Resignation? Concern? Righteous indignation?

But I literally cannot stop laughing. Everything is the Democrats’ fault, including Republicans’ own egos. Oh the schadenfreude!

On the one hand, nice jab. Unfair since he wasn’t interested, but get his jollies where he can, I guess.

On the other, he knew longer than most that Reddit was done. He can pivot to Lemmy at any time.

Did they honestly think he was going to advocate bankrupting his oil-dependent economy for a little thing like not killing everyone?
